Mets at Yankees Postponed; No Make Up Date Scheduled Yet
Tonight’s Subway Series opener at Yankee Stadium has been cancelled due to rain. Michael Kay told me on My9 that the game will NOT be made up Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. There has not been an announcement yet as to when the game will be played, but it seems possible we could be in line for another Intra-Stadium doubleheader with one game in the Bronx and another in Queens.
I have not heard any updates on how this rainout affects the pitching matchups, but I will post them when I find out.
Update at 8:12pm:
According to espn.com, Johan Santana gets pushed back to tomorrow afternoon. Oliver Perez gets pushed a day as well, and will now pitch Sunday night. So they have the matchups right now as scheduled:
Saturday- 1:05pm: Johan Santana vs. Andy Pettitte
Sunday- 8:05pm: Oliver Perez vs. Chien-Ming Wang

If the game isn’t being made up between now and Monday, the split-venue doubleheader next month is a strong possibility. Looking at both teams’ schedules, the only common off-day other than Monday is September 11. That’s a Thursday, and I doubt the Yankees are going to want to give up one of their September off-days, especially one immediately following a West Coast road trip.
